Definitions
- FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing the distribution of the fuel rods in a first assembly according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows, again by way of example, a possible distribution of fuel assemblies after replacement of one third of the assemblies by new assemblies.
- the hatched locations are occupied by assemblies that have already made one or two passages in the reactor.
